726 persons receive national ID card

Phungling (Taplejung), Sept 3: A total of 726 persons have received national identity cards in the district. The District Administration Office had begun distributing the national ID cards by collecting related information.

An employee at the registration section for national ID cards, Basanta Niraula, informed that 347 women and 379 men were provided with national ID cards. However, the administration has prepared 7,967 national ID cards so far.

There was a stack of the essential cards because printing took a lot of time. For the citizen to receive the documents, physical presence in the office is made mandatory, which also hampered the smooth distribution of the cards.

“Citizens were requested to appear before the District Administration Office to receive the cards after they were printed and made available at the office, but the citizens failed to turn up,” he shared.

However, citizens’ dismal appearance in the office for their ID cards may be due to their limited access to notices issued by the administration.

Meanwhile, the people complained that it was worrying to wait for so long to get the mandatory document even after giving personal details.

So far, the District Administration Office collected personal information from 69,598 citizens since the fiscal year, 2077/78BS.

The collection of essential details was realized with the mobilization of local levels.
